My dad was the Ford dealer in Moab for 25 years I grew up on Lyons back!

How cool! That is a neat place.

[@riverbankfisher]

Wow this WJ is a rampaging monster, but it still required nerves of steel on the part of the driver, to disobey gravity so calmly and with such impunity.

[@seanalexander9373]

I love the ZJ and WJ. Comfort, power, solid front/rear axle. And you can get a stock one for under 5k!

[@Abbamonto]

Hell yea!

Just got ours for 1400 :) Columbia Edition V8 Quadra Drive II. So far loving it!

Sick build, great job and vid

[@Abbamonto]

Thanks!

[@WilliamCooney-l2v]

Had and rolled an 03 limited with the 4.0L and quadra drive w/ out the tow package. Such a sad day, was the best snow and off road jeep I ever owned. Whoever bought it from Jeep had it made and I hope to find another, but a v8 overland would suffice haha.

[@rjr1227]

[@shirleymatthews2980]

Love the jeep what year is it? and thanks for video

[@Abbamonto]

2004. Thanks.

[@Jreitzersmith]

Anyone with a 4.0L WJ try that same run? Think it's possible? Genuinely curious. Love my 4.0L, but I'd do a swap to a HO to run lines like that. Shout out to the spotter on that trip.

[@immelting9834]

Yes , I have the 4.0 and been down this 3 times. . Here's a quick rundown of my rig. 4.5in lift that settled to exactly 4 inches. I'm on 33 inch tires , D30 axle ( sleeved -trussed - 4.56- Powertrax grip pro LSD - Nitro brand replacement axle shafts,- hd ball joints) iron rock link long arms f+r , tank tuck. Lots of metal cutting in the front wheel wells for flex , Bilstein shocks . 12o'clock labs universal speedo recalibration unit. It's all about matching your gears to your tire size . Take the tire size you want divided by the tire that Originally came on it x the original axle gear ratio . I chose 4.56 for 33's because i take a lot of stuff with me.

[@jayschofield2472]

Great drive bro. Well-done

[@petelem4915]

Awesome Jeep. !'m planning a step up from the 3 inch IRO and 32s to 6.5 with 35s. Did you re-gear or are you still running stock ?

[@Abbamonto]

No regear. Still on 3.73. Lunchbox in the rear.

[@carlosdumois4526]

That’s one good looking WJ man... I will be doing some work like this to mine. Awesome. Did you change gears for that 35? Any mayor trimming other than fender/bumper and wiper liquid relocation...??

[@Abbamonto]

Thanks, bud. I have not regeared. Still running 3.73 factory gears. Yes to fender and front bumper trimming. Yes to washer fluid ZJ swap. Little by little!!

[@cdumois]

@@Abbamonto I have watch it a zillion times... great build.... Will you be re gearing anytime soon? Any issues with trany? Ive got 33 on mine and my trany is not happy with them... an issue with the trany oil pressure sensor....

[@Abbamonto]

@@cdumois awesome! I am at the crossroads of regear vs. axel swap. I think will regear next year to something between 4.10 or 4.56.

[@carlosdumois4526]

@@Abbamonto yeah... Im considering 4.56 with the 35... THANKS A LOT, BUD...

from my observations,i will not buy a 4x4,less than an 83 bronco,75 swb f100 size.chev dodge whatever, as most swb jeeps roll easy. my bronco has a locker d44 front,d60 rear,all 8 stud. i have a single cab s/duty tray back.it surprises me where & what it does..but,its a 6 cyl diesel.MWM,factory from brazil. good luck,.

[@geotrouvetou3860]

Hi, I have the same WJ as yours and I love your V8 sound (and your ride, of course). Which muffler or exhaust system is yours? Thanks.

[@Abbamonto]

Magnaflow. I cut the pipe before the factory muffler and installed the little aftermarket deal with the pipe turned down before the rear axle.

[@geotrouvetou3860]

Iron Rock 6” Long Arm Kit

[@weeston8744]

If you still haven't lifted it and want too I second that Iron Rock long arm lift. I had it on my 02 WJ and loved it. I'm not condoning jumping it but I was only 18 at the time and had it off the ground once or twice and it held up. Very well made life kit.

[@JF32304]

​@@weeston8744 I'm looking at the 6.5 IRO. I picked up an 02 overland with the 242! I couldn't believe it! I know it will need an SYE. You'd recommend that kit huh? The best? I want a smooth ride.

[@weeston8744]

I can't say it's the best or the smoothest, but like I said for me it held up through a lot of abuse.

[@rodrigo415]

Which axels im building same jeep to go to moab as well 🤙

[@TheVortech11]

Nice Jeep.👍🏻Did you have to change the axel to move 35"??

[@Abbamonto]

Not yet. 3.73 great ration is not perfect but work.

[@DakotaRaymond1999]

[@fernandobriseno8164]

I'm on the fence about buying the Cherokee Overland($4800) 2003 219k with the 4.7 HO or an Xterra($3200) 2007 210k 4x4 with 4.0. Both are solid vehicles.

[@RobertLowery]

How is it on the road with the 6.5" lift? Also, did you do a tank tuck?

[@Abbamonto]

We have driven it thousands of miles on road. It is not a ton of fun to drive but it rides really well. No tank tuck. I have 1-ton steering going on over the Christmas break. I am expecting it to handle a bit better. I have both sway bars connected when driving on the road.

Hey brother, I have the same WJ as you and am looking up upgrade my rig to what your is capable of. Super cool and clean looking btw. Any way you can give me your parts list and some tips on your build? Would be much appreciated.

[@Abbamonto]

Hi! Parts list is pretty simple… If Iron Rock Off Road makes it for the WJ, it’s on this WJ 😆 Tires and rims I found on Craigslist. They were off a JK. 35’s on 17 inch rims. I put an Aussie locker in the rear. Axels and gearing are stock otherwise. I added some limit straps to the front to keep the springs from coming out. Roof rack is from Goliath off road. That’s pretty much it!

Rugged a ridge wheels. I am not sure what you can fit with a 3” lift but cutting would be required for decent articulation if you try to stuff 35’s.
